CODE SIGNING

CERTIFICATES

In addition to trust certificate services, NETLOCK also issues code signing certificates that are able to sign digitally files, scripts, macros, and other applications with one or two years of validity. It is recommended to anyone who seeks a solution for the electronic authentication of program codes in order to increase trust for the codes.

Service fees include the production, issuance and storage of the certificates, as well as their ongoing availability through the Client Menu, furthermore the provision of status services by the end of the validity period.

Code Signing Certificates

If the installation files are not signed, the operating system may regard the software as coming from a non-reliable manufacturer and alerts the installing user. If the installer has been authenticated by the creator’s code signing certificate, the manufacturer’s name will be displayed instead of a warning message during the installation. In a web environment, the use of the code signing certificate also plays a major role: generally the ActiveX programs, signed this way, have fewer restrictions, for example.
